Eugénia Mussa’s exhibition Adulterina intends to reflect contemporary painting as a subversion and creation means, tackling themes like the relationship between what is visible and what is invisible. According to Daniel Madeira, painting is not simply a representation, but rather a transformation act that reveals a secret visibility of things. The title, Adulterina, takes inspiration from the meaning of counterfeit, referring to the potential of paintings to reconfigure and reimagine reality in a dialog fusing memories, images, and perceptions. In Mussa’s words, these are such things that she does not know she knows.
